Ok i get to start the new thread today.

For Oct. i am comitted to exercise everday. Also for Oct i made my goal to eat NO junk food no matter how little. I can eat 1 slice of pizza for a meal but i shouldnt being eating pizza anyway.

Monday Oct 1st. 62x25yrd laps in the pool.

Count me in!! I need some motivation and I'm reaching out. I hit the elipical for 30 minute of medium intensity and then did strength training, pushups/situps, etc. Goal...minimum of four times per week...formal exercise. More if my schedule allows it. No excuses.

Goal #2...get more focused on eating properly and watch calories. Eliminate refined sugars (ahhh cookies) and more of the carbs I have been taking in.

Saturday 80min legs (strength training)

Sunday too sore!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully tonight I'll be able to get in a nice long walk.

How awesome are you!!!

jmcambra,

Thanks! I'm really hitting the exercise hard because I have a PS consult on the 15th and I want the Doc to say I can have the belt lipectomy(lower body lift) this year instead of next. I have the $ now, as I just refinanced my house.

<p>Ok, I did it!!! I joined 24 hr fitness (right next to my house) I have NEVER EVER stepped foot into a gym before, so I am totally freaking out!!! I cant just let the $$$ i spent go to waste, so I need to go.. but really need that push to get over my fear. My fear is not from being so big and people looking, its from not knowing what to do once i get in the door, being overwhelmed by machines!! I even had a freakin nightmare about it-- im not even OCD!! but i sure feel like it..... LOL</p>

Ok, so i was banded almost one month ago- today I joined a gym- I just moved into a new area so I had to join a new one anyways-so me and my 14 y/o daughter will be starting tomorrow- I am going to start at 3 x a week and see what happens.

Ok so last night went out for a 45min walk with doggy and did 10 30 to 60 second burst of sprinting!!!!!

Doggy with short legs was less than thrilled. I was ecstatic. Not really the couch to 5k program, but I will definately do this much more often!!!

Dont worry Lisa, everyone had to start somewhere. Just ask people questions both at the gym and on here and youll find there only too happy to help. Explain to the people there youve never joined a gym and they will help. You might even get a free personal trainer session. It is important to learn how so you dont hurt yourself.

You can get books on how to do it too.

Tuesday : 50 laps in the pool. Tomorrow is weight trainning and swimming.

Go Jmcambra! Waht kind of Dog was it? Bet the Dog was shocked.

Pug - short legs, fat body....sorta like me! At first she wasn't thrilled....but she kept up pretty well.

Okay Monday night...Step aerobics class...45 minutes

Also did 50 crunches in the stretch room with 4 other guys around me..LOLLL..was pretty funny actually with me on the floor. Also did a few machines before the class.

Welcome to the new people just starting out. Remember to we all had to start at the gym at one time and felt EXACTLY the same way. It'll be fine in a week when u get in the swing of it.

Oct 2 exercise-

Walked to & from the gym: 3.17 mi, 49 min.

Elliptical: 63 min.

Stationary bike: 32 min.
